Ok thanks, so I think that I will be searching permanent work as a junior...
I don't need visa I'm EU citizen.

Be aware you will be competing against British graduates from good universities who can travel to be interviewed face-to-face, plus younger British teenagers who can be paid less on apprentice schemes.

I was asking if that was your goal, not suggesting that you should be. also an offence to lead the witness. Philippines must be stunning if you're on here.

Not at all, just trying to encourage the OP is all.
It is stunning, but we have a bit of quiet time before dinner, always time for a little banter

Anyway, you should be working.....

You know it's a bannable offence to try and solicit a ban for another poster

Aiming for another ban?

Ignore the haters, I'm sure with those cutting edge skills, years of experience and eloquent English, someone will pay you a grand a day.

HTH

Welcome,

I'd like to ask about... Are there any chances to find a job as Contractor in UK as a junior programmer with knowledge of the Python(good), Django(basic), Linux, Git and C(dusty)? Right after school for someone from abroad? (I'm 19 years old).
I can show few finished programs and scripts and generally I can show that I was working something with it.
Is it possible to manage whole this stuff... it means interview etc... for email, skype, phone or sth like that without prior arrival on place?

And my English is like you can see above.

Regards

The title of the thread was enough to get my pedantry riled.

"Welcome" is something someone says when they are doing the welcoming. "Hello" would be more appropriate
"Ask". Unless you are a premiership football manager with a poor grasp of English sentence structure, "ask" on its own is not enough. "I have a question to ask" or "I would like to ask something" would work.

My advice to the OP would be to gain experience working in a permanent role, perhaps for an end client or consultancy. After a few years of experience under your belt in the big bad world and building up a savings pot, then consider your future plans.

Woosaaaaa.

I'd suggest perm role too as it would be somewhere that they could improve their English language skills as well.

[WTFH]

Straight in the bin with shortcuts like that I'm afraid.

Welcome and ask

Also if non-EU contracting is not possible since T1 General was closed, all work visas are now tied to a licenced sponsor, ie the employer.

And under the new rules this April I understand the minimum salary level is £35k for T2 General.

Normal perm job or consultancy route would be best as SueEllen advised.

[northernladuk]

No.

[DaveB]

The chances of getting contract work are minimal.

Clients want experienced people who can come in and hit the ground running without having to get them up to speed or train them.

If you are not an EU citizen then you will fall foul of the Visa requirements as well, no client will want to sponsor a contractor for a visa, it's too much trouble and liability for them, nor will any of the Umbrella companies.

You'd be better of looking for a junior permanent role and getting some experience before making the jump to contracting.

[SueEllen]

No get a permanent job.

You are to young for people to take you seriously.
